Nanoporous Anodic Alumina for Optofluidic Applications

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Materials Science ((SSMATERIALS,volume 219))

Abstract

The dynamics of liquid imbibition in nanoporous anodic alumina (NAA) has been recently studied by using the integration of optics and microfluidics. Here the latest results on the subject are revised, and some perspectives for using NAA in optofluidics applications are considered, notably the characterization of the membranes itself.
